Lin Qiye patted Qi Baishi’s shoulder.
His voice contained motivation to boost morale.
The young girl’s heart was like a string, fiercely tugged by him.
Her temperament was still timid and shy. Two lines of tears flowed down from her pair of sparkling eyes.
The tears could not be suppressed and flowed down her cheeks andall over her face.
She used her small palms to wipe it, but they flowed to her wrist.
She cried like a mess.
“Thank you, thank you…
“I haven’t touched a weapon for a year. I… I have let down my master’s expectations. My parents don’t even believe in me anymore. I lost my confidence a long time ago.
“I don’t know where to go. I’m going to leave, and I can’t stay by my master’s side anymore.
“I don’t see any hope…
“Thank you, thank you, Brother.”
Her tears fell like rain as she thanked Lin Qiye in a hoarse voice.
“Thank you for trusting me. I will do my best to forge a good weapon for you!”
Qi Baishi cried until her eyes turned red.
She released two years of repressed emotions.
Not far away, the boys and girls who bullied Qi Baishi had a look of anticipation to watch a good show.
Wen Shuhong, on the other hand, was moved.
His gaze first fell on Qi Baishi, then moved to Lin Qiye’s handsome features.
“It seems Little Qiye’s pure heart is relatively pure? But whether it’s truly pure still needs to be tested!”
Wen Shuhong sighed inwardly.
As for Lin Qiye, he didn’t know what Wen Shuhong was thinking.
His face was gentle as he smiled lightly at the young girl.
“Believe in yourself. In the future, you will become a great blacksmith!”
“Then, at this moment, can I, Lin Qiye, officially invite the future great blacksmith to forge a weapon for me?”
The young girl broke into a smile and looked shyly at Lin Qiye.
“It’s… It’s my honor to forge for you.”
Qi Baishi forcefully wiped away the tears on her face.
Her gaze became exceptionally determined.
“I’m willing! I will do my best to forge for you! Even if I die, I will forge it.” The young girl swore.
On the side, the bullies couldn’t help but whisper and snicker when they saw this scene.
“Her? A great blacksmith?”
“I’m laughing my ass off. Even my master can’t be called a great blacksmith. Is that girl who kept destroying sword spirits worthy of the title?”
“It’s merely words to comfort a child. How could Qi Baishi believe it?”
“That handsome guy is so good at brainwashing. Why doesn’t he go to the Light and Shadow Group?”
“Look at his face. He must be a player! He must know how to make girls happy, pfft!”
Of course, it wasn’t just the bullies who didn’t believe it.
Even Wen Shuhong looked at Lin Qiye with an increasingly strange gaze.
How could he?
Lin Qiye even made a move at a young girl.
Aren’t he afraid of being struck by lightning?!
However, Lin Qiye remained unmoved, ignoring Wen Shuhong’s strange gaze.
Wen Shuhong had no choice but to pull him to the side with a weird look.
Lin Qiye’s scalp went numb from Wen Shuhong’s weird gaze.
“What’s up with that look? I’m not interested in men. Don’t have any improper thoughts towards me!”
Wen Shuhong immediately rolled his eyes.
He glanced at the young girl at such a tender age.
“I’m not interested in you. I want to talk about forging weapons.
“Are you crazy? Or are you out of your mind?
“Do you know how precious a silver-tier weapon that gave birth to a soul and contains strange karma and killing intent is?
“It would be the best diamond-tier weapon if forged by a master! It can absorb killing intent and negative karma to increase its power. This special attribute is extremely rare. At least 40% of diamond-tier weapons would pale in comparison to it!
“You have this weapon with such potential, but you used it to flirt with girls?!
“Have you been blinded by lust?”
Wen Shuhong’s tone was serious, almost to the point of berating.
